Beverley, Are you trying to find her name or physically find her? Joan Allan at myfolks(.)co.uk is excellent as I'm sure many people on this site will tell you. Rose

Researching:
I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife!

Beverley, Do you have your Birth Certificate? If so does it state your mothers name on there? if you have that then you could try the Salvation Army. I take it that you were adopted, do you have any siblings? You could ask to see their certificates as well. Hope the hints I gave can help. Helen

Researching:
Booth's and Hughes from Birmingham

Beverley If you were legally adopted, then you are entitled to see your adoption case file, which will have details of your birth mother. The Social Worker will no doubt advise you on the best way of contacting her if that is what you wish to do - probably through an intermediary service. Good luck OC

Beverley, What year did she divorce? Have you looked through the marriage index on Ancestry that is free? Rose

Just a thought, type in 'adoption ' on the search box (just above the threads on here) + you will get lots of info. People will do all they can to help you, Beverley.........I know, because with the help of folks on GR I actually found my B/Family (my dream come true). Just keep us informed on how you are doing. I am off to bed now! I am shattered! Good searching Regards Ann
